A portrait of a woman in a white head covering and dark dress against a landscape with a lake and hills
The painting depicts a portrait of a young woman, shown from the chest up, against a landscape background. She is positioned slightly to the right of the center, facing left in profile, with her gaze directed forward. Her skin is fair, and her cheeks have a light rosy tone. She has light-colored eyes, a small nose, and her lips are closed. Her hair is completely covered by a white, draped head covering that wraps around her head and neck, forming soft folds. She wears a dark, possibly black, garment that exposes her shoulders. A lighter, possibly white, fabric is visible beneath the dark garment on her right shoulder and arm. The background features a bright blue sky with scattered white clouds in the upper half. Below the sky, a serene landscape unfolds. Rolling green hills with darker green trees are visible in the middle ground, extending across the width of the painting. A body of water, likely a lake or river, occupies the lower left and central portions of the background, reflecting the sky and surrounding landscape. On the left side of the water, a small, light-colored building with a reddish roof is situated on what appears to be a small island or peninsula. The overall impression is one of calm and natural beauty.
